PULSE
· Wave of blood created by left ventricular contraction
· Normal adult rate = 60 – 100 beats/min. Tachycardia is above 100 while bradycaardia is less than 60
· Cardiac Output is the product of stroke volume (amount if blood ejected per contraction) and the cardiac rate. Urine output is the most reliable indicator of cardiac output.
· Cardiac output is affected by the preload (venous return); after load (peripheral resistance) and cardiac contractility inotropic.
Pulses: temporal, femoral, brachial, radial, carotid, popliteal, dorsal pedis
Pulse Deficit is the difference between the apical and the peripheral pulse. Two nurses take this!
Pulse Pressure is the difference between the systolic and diastolic pressure in blood pressure.
